To describe a novel surgical approach to treat traumatic posterior perforating injuries. A case and its findings were analyzed. A 21-year-old man presented with bilateral intraocular foreign bodies that were sustained while hammering a metal railway pin.

Association Between Indication for Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty and Rural Residency.

Purpose: Residing in rural locations can be a barrier to health care access. This study investigated the impact of residing in rural and small town (RST) areas on Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) indications and outcomes in Atlantic Canada.

Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis examined consecutive DSAEKs performed in Nova Scotia between 2017 and 2020.

Graft dislocation following Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty: a comparative cohort analysis of Optisol GS and organ culture preserved corneas.

Previous studies have suggested risk factors for graft dislocation after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). We aimed to investigate the influence of eye bank storage solution as a risk factor for graft dislocation, as this could have significant implications for eye banking practices. This retrospective analysis compared cohorts from the QEII Health Sciences Center, Halifax, Canada (donor corneas preserved in Optisol GS) and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, Melbourne, Australia (donor corneas preserved in organ culture).
